Woven fabrics in which wefts do not form weft locked selvages but are cut off at each pick, producing uneven weft fringes, are provided with two pairs of leno warp ends, one pair on each edge, spaced apart and preferably crossing every pick. The fabric is passed against two scissor-shaped cutters which, through suitable linkage, are actuated by the lay at the end of its travel in beating up a pick. These cutters cut the fabric between the two pairs of leno ends at each edge, removing a ragged fringe. To maintain the cutters close to the inner pair of leno ends at each edge, the fabric edge contacts a vertical guide which with the cutters can move a small distance parallel to the wefts. In other words, with the guide the cutters float and are always perfectly aligned with the fabric edge.
